ibkathyjo - I hate to be "Captain Obvious" here, but since you might be a young person and not know better, please understand - we are not talking about three telephones sitting on a desk somewhere, with 3 secretaries answering them.

These are phone banks operated by computers - they can handle Tens of Thousands of calls simultaneously.

I am young and didn't understand. Thank you

STOP CLAIMING EVERYTHING FOR YOURSELVES! KRIS HAS HEAPS OF FANS OTHER THAN ARKANSAS!! IT JUST MEANS THAT HIS HOMETOWN IS VERY DEDICATED BUT HE HAS HEAPS OF OTHER FANS FROM OTHER AREAS.
